Plasma display panel, manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus of the same

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a plasma display panel, which comprises the steps of filling a barrier rib-forming paste containing glass frit in a barrier ribs-forming intaglio and concurrently forming a paste layer having a constant thickness on the intaglio, superimposing a substrate on the barrier ribs-forming intaglio filled with the barrier rib-forming paste containing glass frit to thereby transfer the barrier rib-forming paste onto the substrate, and heating the barrier rib-forming paste that has been transferred to the substrate, thereby burning out existing organic components and concurrently sintering the glass frit to thereby form the barrier ribs and dielectric layer. The plasma display panel manufactured by this method is featured in that the barrier ribs and the dielectric layer are formed using the same barrier rib-forming material containing a low melting point glass frit.</PTEXT>

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A method of manufacturing a plasma display panel, which comprises: 
       filling an ultraviolet-curing barrier rib-forming paste containing glass frit in a barrier ribs-forming intaglio;  
       irradiating ultraviolet rays onto an entire surface of the barrier rib-forming paste to cure the barrier rib-forming paste;  
       superimposing a substrate on the barrier ribs-forming intaglio filled with the barrier rib-forming paste containing glass frit to thereby transfer the barrier rib-forming paste onto the substrate; and  
       heating the barrier rib-forming paste that has been transferred to the substrate, thereby burning out existing organic components and concurrently sintering the glass frit to thereby form the barrier ribs and dielectric layer,  
       wherein the filling of the barrier rib-forming paste is performed, concurrently enabling the dielectric layer having a predetermined thickness to be formed on the intaglio, and the superimposing of the substrate on the barrier ribs-forming intaglio filled with the barrier rib-forming paste is performed, concurrently enabling the dielectric layer to be transferred onto the substrate.

       3. The method of manufacturing a plasma display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the superimposing of the substrate on the barrier ribs-forming intaglio filled with the barrier rib-forming paste is performed using an adhesive material interposed therebetween. 
     
     
       4. The method of manufacturing a plasma display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the barrier ribs-forming intaglio is formed of silicone rubber. 
     
     
       5. The method of manufacturing a plasma display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the barrier ribs-forming intaglio comprises silicone intaglio and a 42-6 alloy plate laminated thereto. 
     
     
       6. The method of manufacturing a plasma display panel according to  claim 5 , wherein the substrate is a glass substrate. 
     
     
       7. The method of manufacturing a plasma display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a glass substrate. 
     
     
       8. The method of manufacturing a plasma display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the filling of the ultraviolet-curing barrier rib-forming paste containing glass frit in the barrier ribs-forming intaglio is performed using a roll press. 
     
     
       9. The method of manufacturing a plasma display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the filling of the ultraviolet-curing barrier rib-forming paste containing glass frit in a barrier ribs-forming intaglio is performed to pinch the ultraviolet-curing barrier rib-forming paste between the barrier ribs-forming intaglio and an ultraviolet ray-permeable releasable film.
